Record review of the facility's policy titled, Use of Restraints with a revised date of April 2017, reflected the following: Policy Statement: Restraints shall only be used for the safety and well-being of the resident(s) and only after other alternatives have been tried unsuccessfully.
Restraints shall only be used to treat the resident's medical symptom(s) and never for discipline or staff convenience, or for the prevention of falls.
When the use of restraints is indicated, the least restrictive alternative will be used for the least amount of time necessary, and the ongoing re-evaluation for the need for restraints will be documented.
Policy Interpretation and Implementation:1.
Physical Restraints are defined as any manual method or physical mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily, which restricts freedom of movement or restricts normal access to one's body. 2.
The definition of a restraint is based on the functional status of the resident and not the device. If the resident cannot remove a device in the same manner in which the staff applied it given that resident's physical condition , and this restricts his/her typical ability to change position or place, that device is considered a restraint.9.
Restraints shall only be used upon the written order of a physician and after obtaining consent from the resident and/or representative (sponsor).
The order shall include the following:a.
The specific reason for the restraint (as it relates to the resident's medical symptoms);b.
How the restraint will be used to benefit the resident's medical symptom; andc.
The type of restraint, and period of time for the use of the restraint.
